My Mum works for Barnadoes and all Barnadoes employees received a letter saying they weren't allowed to vote 'No' in the referendum. I think this is appalling, these industries are acting on the same level as Mugabe.
Now i know this isn't PC ..SHOULD A SMACK AS PART OF GOOD HUSBANDRY CORRECTION. BE A CRIMINAL OFFENSE IN NZ..SHOULD A SMACK AS PART OF GOOD PARENTAL CORRECTION. BE A CRIMINAL OFFENSE IN NZ..Now i will say .some of us didn't/ dont need a law to tell us it was/is wrong to beat our wives, ladies, lovers. or anyone.. but oviously some doo....some of us didn't/dont need a law to tell us it was/is wrong to beat/bully / intimidate / and abandon our children, but obviously some doo..looks like many do.and clearly some of us dont need a law to stop us taking so much. that that taking and greed.. is causing poverty violence and child murder..but clearly many do.
Its sad to see $9 million spent on this. The "anti smacking" law should never have been passed as it was clear it had little public support. If the referendum had been part of the general election it would have cost little but Labour didn't want to look bad. I can't see why the question is ambiguous. This ambiguity it smacks of an excuse by JK and SB to avoid the real issue if the result is yes.
